Playgroup nativity yesterday was lovely - Ben cooperated really well with the rehersal and I got one good picture of him and lots of lovely ones of the other children which we then sell for playgroup funds. Glad I got a picture of Ben in the rehersal as after that he refused to wear his costume then left the stage - then he wanted to sit on my lap so couldnt take any other photos either - second year running I havent had anyone on the stage for the performance!
Fantastic day today - we went to The Farmer's Cart just outside York as a playgroup outing - 26 children with mums and grannies!! to see Santa! We rode ona sleigh pulled by an orange tractor. Ben was very patient as we had to go in groups - 3 groups went and returned with pressies then the last sleigh was filling up fast - everyone got on except us there just wasnt room - Ben was really upset but the driver was lovely and assured him he'd come back for him. He came back really quickly and 2 other children decided to have an extra turn . When we got to santa instead of squashing in as a group of 10 children there were only 3 of them and it was fantastic - Santa spent ages with Ben as he knew he had been upset - Ben had a great time.




We also fed some very hungry goats and a meany bully shetland pony and had a fantastic lunch - a great day!!
